God of a Second Chance

If you have strayed away from God, it is never too late to come back. You cannot have strayed so far that the Lord is unable to reach you for the Lord’s arm is never too short to draw us back to Himself if we make a decision to return to Him. He receives us with open arms. The prodigal son came to mind. He squandered his portion of the inheritance that his father gave him. When he came to the end of himself, he was a filthy and hopeless mess. He felt utterly lost and despondent. He picked himself up and headed home. His father was already waiting for him. The father hugged his dirty and stinking son and put a robe on him. He received him unconditionally.

God loves us unconditionally. Man may say: “I love you because ”, “I love you if ” or “I love you when ”. The bible clearly states that He loved us with an everlasting love. He pursued us with His great love while we were lost in sin.
